Wilted Endive Lettuce with Orange, Dates, and Almonds
Experiment - I'm sure any other slightly bitter green would be equally delicious when paired with bright citrus and sweet dates.
Ingredients
- 1 head endive lettuce greens
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 1 tsp crushed chili flakes
- 2 tbsp almonds toasted and chopped
- 2 tbsp pitted dates chopped
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic, and cook until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add lettuce, orange zest and juice. Saute until stems are tender and leaves are bright green. Add chili flakes and season with salt.
- Remove from heat and toss in almonds and dates. Serve warm.
